clueless 3,259 #5 Posted August 7 (edited) Sorry about that, I never remover the cover that was on it. The water most like got in from there, it did sit outside off and on during the last 10+ years. Have you removed the head yet? Edited August 7 by clueless Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chrishar 752 #11 Posted August 12 So what I was thinking it has bad bearings it was a rebuild transmission so this is what happens when water gets in there it was hard to turn the brake pulley so now have to order a transmission kit for it hope the motor is not this bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chrishar 752 #18 Posted Saturday at 08:38 PM It's broken in four places and some one tried to fix it but not so good I can probably fix it but if I could find one to replace it that would help me on time to get it done for a show coming up soon 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
